Lucas at 4 Months

At four months Lucas is a very busy boy! He is pushing up very well and starting to inch forward. He is also learning to sit up unassisted. He has a new toy, the Excersaucer, and really enjoys playing in it. Lately we have been trying to get on a nap routine WITHOUT the pacifier...that has not been easy! He continues to sleep well through the night, from 8:30 pm until 7:00 am. This month at his checkup we were surprised to find that he weighs 13 lbs and 14 oz., less than what we had expected. He is now only in the 23% for weight, so the doctor recommended we think about starting rice cereal. We will begin that after Thanksgiving when we return to Virginia. He is very tall, 26 and 1/4 inches, in the 87 percentile. Tall and thin, who does that remind you of? Not mommy!!

Halloween

Lucas the Lion made an appearance at the mommy group Halloween party this past week. Mommy made special spider cupcakes to bring to Andrea and Will's house, which was decorated so nicely for the party!




On Halloween night we had Raquel, Ayden, Shauna, Joe and Addison over to help greet trick-or-treaters. Lucas is too young for candy, but mommy bought him his very own remote which he loves! :)
